Some people have a favorite meal they happily order every time they visit a restaurant. Others are the exact opposite. They scan the menu looking for something they've never tried before and rarely eat the same dish twice. Psychology says that constantly wanting a different meal doesn't automatically reveal someone's personality. Instead, research suggests that a preference for food variety is often influenced by the way the brain responds to novelty, rewards, and changing experiences. For many people, trying new foods is about curiosity as much as taste.
